This little lady is still just as sweet as can be!She has pretty much stopped talking. She will still clap for "more" but is really reluctant to sign "all done". (Actually, she has waged a mini war about it. It's kind of cute. She gets so indignant when we try to get her to say it before she can get down.)She will bark at the cats (or any other animal). She has become really expressive in other, nonverbal ways with pointing and gesturing. It's obvious she is trying to communicate with us about things in her own little way.

Now little Lily is crawling like a champ. She can get everywhere she needs to go, with cats and "no no toys" being her biggest motivators. She will clap for "more" now most of the time, especially if you are offering bananas!
